New Homes on GLA Group Land

Murad Qureshi: Please provide details on how many homes you aim to build on GLA Group Land. Please provide details on how many homes have been completed to date. Please break down the figures by what part of the GLA owns the land, TfL, LFB, MPS, etc.

The Mayor: From April 2016 to September 2020 a total of 7,188 homes have been completed on GLA Group Land. This is broken down as follows: GLA Land and Property Ltd (GLAP) and joint venture interests: 6,395, Transport for London (TfL): 266, London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC): 466, and London Fire Commission (LFC): 61. Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation does not own any land and Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) does not monitor completions after land has been disposed of.
There is commitment and scope to deliver a significant number of homes on GLA Group owned land. This includes a total housing programme on TfL land of over 13,000 homes, more than an additional 42,000 on GLAP land, and a total of 5,775 on LLDC land. It is expected that LFC and MOPAC land disposals combined will facilitate over 1,000 homes.
